New Book Details JFK’s White House Sexploitations Of Virgin Intern

By Elizabeth C.

THE MYTH OF JOHN F. KENNEDY AS CAMELOT takes another hit as a new book details his sexploitations in the White House with a 19-year-old virgin intern.

In Once Upon a Secret: My Affair with President John F. Kennedy and Its Aftermath, 69-year-old Mimi Alford documents her 18-month affair with the then-president that began when he seduced her in the First Lady’s bed.

It was, she says, her first time ever having sex.

“Slowly, he unbuttoned the top of my shirtdress and touched my breasts.Then he reached up between my legs and started to pull off my underwear. I finished unbuttoning my shirtdress and let it fall off my shoulders. Kennedy pulled down his pants but, with his shirt still on, hovered above her on the bed.He smelled of his cologne, 4711. He paused when he noticed her resisting. ‘Haven’t you done this before?’ he asked. …”After he finished, he hitched up his pants and smiled.”

That first encounter occurred four days after Alford began a summer internship in the White House press office. But the sexual liaison between the finishing school graduate and the 45-year-old sexually voracious president would last 18 months. During that time he taught her how to scramble eggs and, presumably, the Kama Sutra: she calls their sex life “varied and fun.”

Though Alton describes the president as being tender at times, he also treated her like a whore. Twice during their affair, JFK asked her to sexually service other men. The first time, Kennedy whispered to her that his aide “looks a little tense. Would you take care of it?”

“It was a dare, but I knew exactly what he meant,”Alton writes. “This was a challenge to give Dave Powers oral sex. I don’t think the president thought I’d do it, but I’m ashamed to say that I did . . . The president silently watched.”

But another time when he asked her to “take care” of his brother Teddy, she responded, ““Absolutely not, Mr. President.” And at a party at Bing Crosby’s house, Kennedy once forced amyl nitrate on her. “I said no, but he just went ahead and popped the capsule and held it under my nose,” she recalls.

Now a 69-year-old grandmother and retired New York City church administrator, Alton explains why she acquiesced to the president’s commands: “The fact that I was being desired by the most famous and powerful man in America only amplified my feelings to the point where resistance was out of the question,” she confesses. “That’s why I didn’t say no to the president. It’s the best answer I can give.”

The two met for the last time in Manhattan on Nov. 15, 1963, just seven days before he was assassinated and shortly before she was to be married.

“He took me in his arms for a long embrace and said, ‘I wish you were coming with me to Texas.’ And then he added, ‘I’ll call you when I get back.’ I was overcome with sudden sadness. ‘Remember, Mr. President, I’m getting married.’’
